==Notah Begay III Foundation==
In 2005, Notah Begay III, a four-time PGA Tour winner and the first Native American PGA Tour player, established the Notah Begay III Foundation.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.manataka.org/page136.html|title=11 Native Americans Everyone Should Know|website=www.manataka.org|access-date=2020-04-27}}</ref> It is a federally recognized 501(c)3 [[non-profit]] organization designed to provide sustainable health and wellness programs for Native American youth. Recognizing the lack of sustainable programming for youth within Tribal communities, Begay established the Foundation to deliver youth sports activities in tribal communities in the form of golf and soccer programs.
